I've tried using safe mode, to no avail. Additionally, the screen does= n't refresh; it leaves this information on the screen: EFI framebuffer information: addr, size 0x0, 0x0 dimensions 640x480 stride 640 masks 0x00ff0000 0x0000ff00 0x0000000ff 0xff000000 I can actually use the menus, the system is responsive. However, I can only= see the small portion at the top, which makes it impossible to actually pe= rform the installation. Any thoughts? Nick G nmgordon@memphis.edu
